I started making quilts in the early eighties while living in the United States. At first, I fell in love with Amish quilts. I loved their simple designs and subtle colours.
When
I came back to Belgium a few years later, I continued making quilts and
gradually drifted towards contemporary and art quilting.
I
dye, paint and print my fabrics, using several different techniques. Most of
the time, I machine-quilt my pieces, although I often add some hand stitching.

My
inspiration comes from my natural environment and from my interest in all
things Japanese. I traveled several times to Japan and became so intrigued by
this beautiful country that I started studying the language a couple of years
ago.

I
am a member of the international art quilt group Twelve by Twelve. At the
moment, I am working on a series of small quilts using the remnants of fabrics
I dyed for the Twelve by Twelve challenges.

I launched a small art quilt group with a few friends. We still have to find a
name, but we already have chosen a first theme for the next six months.
